CHRISTCHURCH:
BJ Watling and Colin de Grandhomme hauled New Zealand back into the second Test Saturday, cutting England’s advantage back to 115 runs with four wickets in hand at stumps on day two in Christchurch.

CHRISTCHURCH:

When bad light stopped play seven overs early, New Zealand had recovered from 36 for five to be 192 for six in reply to England’s 307.

Watling was on 77 after sharing a 142-run stand with de Grandhomme which was broken late in the day by England’s man of the moment Stuart Broad.

The 31-year-old Broad, who had de Grandhomme caught behind for 72, wound back the clock to finish the day with four for 38.

“It was probably the best rhythm I’ve felt for a couple of years running in today. I was rubbish in Australia,” he said, adding that England had the upper hand despite New Zealand’s fightback. “Watling didn’t really give us a chance. They played exceptionally well but from our points of view we held them well enough to still be ahead in this game.”

It was Watling’s 14th Test half-century and de Grandhomme’s second highest score as they passed New Zealand’s previous sixth-wicket partnership record against England of 141, set by Martin Crowe and Adam Parore 24 years ago.

De Grandhomme believed New Zealand still had a chance of getting a first innings lead despite the new ball being only five overs away.

“Obviously we’re behind the eight ball, but hopefully tomorrow we can come hard and get close or past the score.”

In a match of fluctuating fortunes, New Zealand’s recovery followed England’s own revival from 164 for seven to be all out for 307.

After months of misery on the road, England felt their luck had turned with wicketkeeper-batsman Jonny Bairstow’s fifth Test century before he was out for 101.

Learning how to become a supermodel and actually becoming a supermodel are two very different things. Supermodels are like billionaires - they are extremely rare. Not only do they have a body type that's highly unusual, but they've also got an "it factor" that propels them past the other models on the runway into commercials, TV shows and single-name recognition. For every Tyra, Gisele, or Adriana, there are thousands of other working models who never make it to superstar status.

How to Become a Supermodel

Unfortunately, who your mom and dad are plays a huge part toward whether you'll make it as a supermodel. Genetically, models stand out from the crowd. They're tall, lean, long-legged and small-framed, making them living, breathing coat-hangers for fashion designer's clothing. Most female models average between 5'8" and 6'0" tall, and weigh far less than the average American woman. Their bodies also have to look balanced and proportionate, so measurements often count for more than weight. Most runway models have bust, waist and hip measurements between 32 to 36 inches, 22 to 26 inches, and 33 to 35 inches, respectively.

Most models find success between the ages of 15 and 22. While many models can continue working throughout their 20s, it's rare to find a model whose career starts during that time frame. Women have to look young, unlined and fresh, so if you want to model, pursue the career early.

If your want to learn how to become a supermodel, you have to learn to balance your confidence and your humility. Every time you walk into a room, you want people to stop and look at you because you "possess" yourself completely. But, when you talk to people, you want them to think to themselves, "She is so nice!" Here's why this combination is so important: when you go on go-sees to book clients, you have to sell yourself to them as the perfect representation of their clothing line, as well someone they will want to work with. You have to prove that you'll be punctual, flexible and creative. It's not just your body and your style you're selling; it's the whole package.

It takes hard work and effort to get picked up by an agency, and it takes even more work and dedication to become a full-fledged supermodel. Start with the basics:

Compile Your Measurements:
Take a Head Shot:
Hit the Pavement:
Take it Seriously:

If you have the body and the confidence to be the next top model, take the risk and pursue your goal with ferocity.
